Last Kineticist I played 2 months ago was Dark Elementalist and I do know if it was a bug but I was able to stack overcharge bonuses with Dark Elementalist Soul eating bonuses for double bonuses to hit and damage. Pretty sweet.
The d20PFSRD says this:

No it's established Areelu and her son were already demon worshiper by that point, and her son was literally killed while trying to summon a greater demon, no "nerd bullying here." Play the actual game and don't speedread the story part, the story is already barebone enough.This analogy falls flat because the idiots in question were attempting to bully arcane spellcasters because.... reasons? Something about arcane magic being bad in a country run by OTHER spellcasters (did shamans or druids run sarkoris?) who just use a different form of magic that could just as easily be abused. Also if I remember right, I don't think Areelu was actively trying to destroy Sarkoris was she? That it killed the people responsible was just a bonus to her experiment to try and bring her kid back.Said kid was literally shot by magic-police for resisting arrest and killed just after he murdered a magic-cop. Killing millions and setting ablaze a whole country in paiment for one retarded death is the definition of Dindu-nothing, congratulation you achieved peak BLMism in your game. Oh and he literally tried to summon a Balor.
Areelu apologism is retarded, they tried to play the sob part with pathos and MOTHERLY sentiment but at the end of the day, she's an unrepentant mad scientist who committed a genocide for trivial reasons.
They absolutely had it coming because bullying the nerd on the playground when that same nerd can kill you with the wave of his hand makes you a legitimate 'tard. Darwinism at its finest. Honestly some of the background lore makes it hard to take the whole overarching plot line seriously.
Why didn't Areelu move to another country?
Also his soul was directly judged by Pharasma and sent straight to the Abyss, so he was at least CHAOTIC EVIL and probably into DEVOURing soul. You're projecting some weird personal issues on the game. Were you bullied by weirdos shamans and protestant pastors in you Kwanzanian hometown for your belief in the occult ?
Basically what you're saying is "Sarkorians deserved to get their country raped by demons because they tried to stop those two peoples from bringing demons to rape their country." I won't make you a drawing of which political side uses this exact reasoning in our modern world.
So yeah, if you take all the pieces of info the game gave you, it's hard to sympathize with Areelu. Also, she straight up tells you that even if her son had been saved/resurrected, she still would have gone through the Worldwound creation for SCIENCE and POWER. Again, don't speedread. Pay attention to the dialogue, there isn't even much of it on the main story path. This ain't Torment or New Vegas.
Two answers possible :
- Mage arrogance. She had her whole laboratory going and thought she could get away with it indefinetely until it was too late. At Threshold she was already deadset on opening the worldwound.
- Bad writing. In the original path, Areelu always was a devoted Deskari worshiper.
No it does not stack. It says you only get bonuses from collecting souls but I would collect 3 souls for bonuses and then do 3 overcharge for 3 more bonuses and it stacked for +6 attack and +12 damage.
That's 1st edition Shadow Evocation. I don't have a problem with Shadow Evocation/Conjuration. The idea is that you make an illusion (a sensory deception) quasi-real. The target sees a fire ball, feels the heat, smells the burning and believes it. It's something perceptible. This confluence makes it quasi real. How does one provide an illusion of a compulsion? It breaks the concept. What is being made quasi-real? If Shadow Enchantment is fair game, then why not other schools that illicit imperceptible effects? It's a bridge too far and starts to enter Wish spell territory.

I remember the summoning part but when the inquisitors confronted him was that an actual balor summon or something else? The one in the BACK of the house is the balor summon. The kid is never really shown as evil, just overly curious. However you do have a point about his/her soul ending up in the abyss. As far as I know you can't get sent there unless you're more than a bit of a cunt yourself, or make a deal with a demon. So you probably WERE more than a little evil. But hey, Areelu's kid.
I didn't speedread through any of it... on my first playthrough. Which was admittedly near the release date of the game itself so I'm probably forgetting a lot. I don't remember anything in the game that points to Areelu being a demon worshiper before the child murder.
And yes I still stand by what I said about sarkoris.

I still don't like the limitation on the potential burst - first; and second, the burn effect on stats is not available for Overwhelming Soul. I think those are weaknesses.
i know all the lores. the good, the bad, the ugly.
All authorities in Californicated games are White Mantle X.0.
If you only have one decent melee companion the problem is your play not the companions. Cam has full Barkskin which is the only decent Druid-exclusive buff that makes a difference, and if you get her Dex-to-dam by lvl five she should hold her own while Wolj is a cuisinart.
I am around level 13 at the moment, and thought I'd write an update.I'm currently approaching Drezen, just did Lost Chapel.
My party at the moment:
1. Hmoyko the Molfar - a Hex Channeler witch with a Shadow patron. Focuses on casting Slumber and channeling. Has Shadowplay, so presumably his future shadow spells will be powerful. Should have put in more Dex, but no one really attacks him anyway. Has both positive channel and negative channel (Mythic).
2. Camellia - default shaman. Her primary task is putting an evil eye hex so that Hmoyko can reliably Slumber everyone. The other big task is to spam skeleton summon. I hear some people use her as a tank, but for me she's just a non-squishy caster.
3. Seelah - pure Negro Paladin with a horse, wielding a polearm. Great for doing coup de grace on slumbering characters because of her huge reach. Smite evil is also extremely useful against tanky characters.
--- Ottmar - her trusty steed. Tanks really well. I don't understand why no one targets Seelah and instead keeps beating the horse.
4. Lann - default monk archer. Deals a good amount of damage with buffs, but a bit uninventive. Gets enlarged by Camellia.
5. Nenio - default wizard. Not very impressive for now, given the low level. Haste is too important though.
The last member is flexible. At first, I had a vivisectionist Woljif, but he is a bit squishy. Now the main alternative is Daeran, who also has a pet bully wolf via Mythic that is surprisingly good at tripping (e.g., tripping the lich, tripping the ghouls). Stacking two channelers also gives good AoE versus large hordes of undead. He can also help Camellia spam skeletons. But now I am considering replacing Daeran with Ember because you can stack Witch Evil Eye with Shaman Evil Eye, giving -8 to saving throws. This would pretty much guarantee successful slumber as well as subsequent coup de grace (since fortitude is also weakened). It could be further amplified with misfortune.
The balancing is very odd. E.g., there's that item that summons 4 nabasus/angels which steamroll any enemy, including that Level 20 stringy otherling and the tough hidden nabasu in Lost Chapel. Theoretically, it is supposed to be a bit random, but really the chance of getting more than 50% of hostiles is tiny. And you can just run away then.
In terms of difficulty, I kept Hard without changing it. It was somewhat tough at first, but it gets much easier when you get the first mythic level.
